Meditation is painful in the beginning but it bestows immortal Bliss and supreme joy in the end. ..... says Swami .... I'm still at the painful part :) says Kat

Last night en route back to home after being in a very long sales conference, I had decided to stop into the local sports store to get replacement poles for my snow shoes .. and at the same time talk to a friend, and get his opinion on meditation, and why I find it so difficult to do. As you see, Eric is an Iron Man, Vegetarian Man, Lance Armstrong Freak .. and " the shoe guy " there .. Between you, me and this blog .. I kinda idolize the guy :) because he's so dedicated to his sport and his lifestyle .. but I will never own up to that to him, as it would go straight to his ego. I said " Eric " with a straight face " Why do I have such a hard time trying to meditate ". A few moments later after he had finished laughing, and said " you .. " and then went back to laughing. Apparently it is a belief that I have a hard time sitting down and "shutting off ". That will be another conversation.
Out of the 15 minute conversation with him, I have taken, so what if I am not good at meditation - it is not for everyone. Is not the whole purpose of the challenge to sit, reflect, and reflex. So in a way I already do that, I sit with my coffee each morning, look out the back window across the back yard, today its especially pretty almost a blue tone across the snow. And each night I look out the window or go outside and look at the moon. I take a good long look at it. I appreciate the beauty of the moon high above me. It may not be a traditional meditation technique .. but its my time out from my busy, crazy, non stop .. but wonderful life. I am a very lucky person.
